Perhaps this is a sign we need to do these things more often. Then it wouldn't come as such a surprise when it happens.

A banner would have been nice - then it could also have had a link to some sort of page explaining what the change was, and why it matters. Not too late? -Yaron On Feb 27, 2015 3:01 PM, "Daniel Friesen" <daniel(a)nadir-seen-fire.com> wrote: _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Oh come the heck on people! [1] Have everyone forgot about the concept of fun! A little reminder: fun is... fun! [2] I don't recognize the community I started contributing to, are we all so obsessed of staying serious? If we continue down this road, we will next be allowed to celebrate only MediaWiki's transition to Enterprise JavaBeans. And celebrate by allowing one exclamation mark per person on mailing lists? Come onnnnn, there has to be some room for fun, sometimes even silly fun. And block for that. Really? [3] Already after Kaldari reverted the logo back? [4] The only problem about the logo itself I see is that due to its home-made mad skillz style, someone might have thought that the site is defaced. But even that does not warrant all the shit Ryan got for it. He worked really hard on bringing us one step colser to the world of modern webdev, and everything he got for that was... Ugh. ---- [1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_wikipedias_serious.jpg [2] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Drunk-kitteh.jpg [3] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NO_MOAR_BLOCK_lolcat.jpg [4] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PiksherDeleted.jpg _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
